On the 2gth ult. the Eng lish 1..-incied3o6o men near Scilla, to which they laid siege but General PA RTON EAUSE did not give them time to finish it. He fell upon them with the ra pidity of lightning., The English, who relied - upon a wovernent of the Calabrians in their favour, were surprfsed to see them' in the French ranls. Disappointed at this discovery, they raised the: siege, and embarked ; but .not time enough tc) preven t leaving on the shore their horses, artii:ery, ammuni- tion, and a great number of killed and wounded.— Their troops Were coMposeci . in a - great measure of Brigands, picked np.in Sicily, or from Naples.

FROM THE WESER, JULY 2 1 .—The Westfir.alian troops which were on their march from HaioN, - er to Bremen, have received counter order S.. Gen. IIUBEL has again left Bremen. • ITALY,`jULY 18.—The Popo has already arrived at Genoa, on his journey to 'Avignon.. By Letters from Prague it appears, that Peace betWieen Austria and. France had - not been concluded on the 25th ultimo. It is not, however, to be inferred that a Peace will not' take 'place, though there were some demonstrations on' the part of Austria, which led to the conjeeture that she is not prepared for an entire abandonment of all that must be dear to her homiur and her inte- rests. The accounts which were yesterday received from Holland mention, that an important change is . about take place with respect to the Government of that country;--a change which we know has been for some time anticipated in Holland, with consider able apprehension, viz. the annexation of the United Provinces to France. Whatever relnaance the Dutch might at first feel to give up their Re - r ublican form of Government, and to be- placed under the sway'of a King, and that King a foreigner, vet .the mild and inotfensive.condua of Louts. BuoNapaterB In some degree reconciled them to their fate. He could not refuse obedience to his brother's Orders for imposing the . most arbitrary restriaions upon the trade of Holland, but at the same time he eagerly. seized every Opportranity of granting his snbjeas, a temporary relief. This Condit& frequently exposed him to the reproaches of BuoNaratrn, and two years ago it was - generally belie‘ed in Holland, that Louts BUONAPARTE was to, be provided with another Kingdom, and that Mt/RAT was to succeed him on.the Throne of Holland. It is now confi 7 dently stated, that the United Provinces are to be. declared an integral part of France, and thit Louts is to have a new Kingdom made for him out of the wrecks of the Austrian Empire. The same Letters state, that BUONAPARTE has issued another Decree, excluding from the Ports of France and Holland all American 'Ships that have been searched by British Cruizers, and ordering all American property in France to be placed in a state of sequestration. The Icilowing particulars are given in a Letter, 'dated Rotterdam, With July, received by an eminent mercantile house -: " We are assured ,our recent decree of 3oth March must be repealed. No Americans are in future.to bs: admitted into France, or the ports of hen Allies, so long as England perse veres in her pr,tended right of search. This 'fad is known to us exclusively at this moment; but to-morrow it will obtain publicity. American goods already arrived will be seques trated. What confusion must not this create I Vie were in formed .rt this Last night only.t We annex the Articles of a Prohibicay Decrtr, witiO bpn been just issued : DECREE PROHIBITING '1 HE ADMISSION OF COLONIAL PRODUCE. •• An Imperial ManJate, dated july 17, :35•9, Pas ec C E 1 c Pecreef f the 4th rune last, which had placed c ur rela. tions with Holland on' the footing on which they st, od be fore the Decree of Sept. 16, 18o8,rthe tenor of 'which is as follows • " Palace of St. Cloud, Sept. 16, OA. _Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy,'and Pro.. tenor of the Confederation of the Rhine, having received the Report of our Minister of Finance, and consulted out Council of State, we have decreed, and do decree what follows : " Art. I: The admission into France of all kinds of colo nial produce, coming from Holland.and Spain, is prohibited , until it be otherwise ordered. " 11. All vessels laden with such produce, that shall en ter the Elbe, the Weser, and the Yade, shall be seiied and confiscatecL " II I. The present Decree does not interfere with that of the gth of lune, in which we have reserved to ourselves the power of allowing the introdukion of raw cottons, according to circumstances. " IV: Our Minister of Finance is charged to provide foi the execution of the present. Decree. . (Signed) " NAPOLEON." The same charge is repeatedly urged by the Op position Writers' Against Mr. CANNING and his friends, that was direeted against the immortal PITT in the beginning of his'.political career, and which was indeed levelled against his father, when the latter began to distinguish himself 'in the House of Commons. .This charge imputes to Mr. CANNING the offence of youth, and his political associates are Styled " the young sages of his school." It is in vain to observe, that. Mr. CANNING and his friends may reasonably expect_ to mend every day in this re-, speet, and•therefore we shall not venture to urge that plea in their favour ; but surely it is very impolitic in the Opposition Writers to be repeating this accu sation against ".the young Sages of Mr. CANNING'S School," since the nation has foundlhat "the Sages" of the'Old School, though they pretended t 6 possess alb the talents in the country, were so totally devoid of political knowledge, 'that they threatened ruin .to the nation, if they had been suffered to remain in the post for .which they were so utterly destitute of 'abilities. But it seems that- Mr..CANNING i 5 to be ridiculed because he manifested some respect for the religious opinions of the Spaniards, and " our Lady of the PILAR" is treated' with contempt and mockery. We are glad to find; However; that Mr. CANNING'S chief faults in the opinion of opposition, are his youth and his regard for religion. -We in dulge the hope that be will in due time get rid of the for Mer charge; but as to the latter, we trust that he will neyer attempt to remove it, and that if it be an error, lie will most obstinately retain it to the end of his life: Yesterday morning HIS MA.; asTv, Princesses Au- GUSTA and StiPHIA, accompanied by Lady G.

Some English Ladies, who had been detained prisoners in Fran:e, arrived in town - yesterday morn ing, and it is believed that .BUONAPARTL+ has issued a Pecree for the release of fettiale prisOners, and of all children not above t welve years of age. • The Escort gun-brig had a narrow escape whilst on her last cruise. Fonrgtia-brigs and a cutter 'pur sued her off Cape Frehel, and having , the advantage of the wind, would inevitably have come up with her if they had persisted in the chace, from which They were deterred by a matxmovre of Lieutenant CROSB'IE, her Commander, who, . finding escape otherwise. impossible, and, knowing resistance to so superior a force vv'ouid be of - no avail, be began to make signals, and fired a bow grinps if to some ships in the offing; on perceiving this, the French men tacked, and made all sail off. THE THEATRE.—The elegant and interesting Ro mance of The hunter of the Alps, from the author of the popular drama of The Fouhdling of the Fo rest, was revived last night, at the Haymarket The atre, with great beauty. in the scenery, Bzc„ and was very well received. It. was follow:ed by the melo drame of Tekeli, condensed into. two ads. The al jerations have been so judiciously effeded, that the pike loses none of its otiginal intere,t.. This pierce is also brought forward„ in a style of ••pleudour that does credit to the Managers. The concluding drama was Killing no Murder, which, by its ludicrous qualities, afforded the audience an arnp!e compensa tion for the terrif4,interest which the torrui;r pieces had excited. Mr. HARRIS, of C.Syent Garden Theatre, accord . ing 10 . report, has transferred his property in that Theatre to his von, who lias already i)::d some expe rience in the - management„of it. .We hope the for- Frier will enjoy many years of retirement and leisure, att. r so long a period of Id hourand solicitude in the arduous and complicated concerns at a Theatre. It was.staied that CATALA'NI had succeeded in getting , ANFossI appointed Double-bass Player at Covent-garden Theatre, instead of WOODHAM, who Was to retain his salary. It now said that she .ha , , been equally, successful in getting her brother appointed Principal . Oboe, instead 9: Mr. W. PARKE. :We cannot bring ourselves to believe that if. CATA LANI could have made. Such wtotiipis the Managers "Would have listened to them. It would be easy to make a pecuniary requital to 'the Ps:iformers who are thus said to have been displaced ; but what com pensation \could be offered to their feelings for being Obliged to give way to obtrusive Aliens ? The whole story must be founded In nialice, tbr the engagement of CATALAN' at ovent-garden'Thentre has excited general. disgust, and it Would, be impolitic Indeed to irritate the Public siill,more on thiS-subjeCt. • - . !• Wheat - ^os a g2t; a gss QUICK c ncluded hiS first .engageinent with the i . c, Ss ditto - 1 - eSs a icts Manager of the * LYCEL'INI, last, night, in the part' of i Rye . -, - - • 4 6 s a Sa , Isaac Mendoza, and received the wart - nest - tribute of I I ti a a rl t eY .: : : 7 3 0 6 : z a t ,`1 : applause from the audience, not unmixed with regret 1 w h i te p„se - -8,,, 4 905 that they were s ) soon to l o s e so exck-Ilent a Per- } -.Grey ditto - -44 s a sos Antner. 1 Beans . . .
